When I read Dark Moon's follow up I was reminded that Freemake also has a video downloader:
http://www.freemake.com/free_video_downloader/
This downloader ... unlike the converter version I posted will not only download the video but will also inform you of the other formats available for that video. This particular video (Part I) was available in FLV, MP4 and WebM. Sorry, I don't much about formats. If you're interested in only the audio portion of the video, you can also extract that as an MP3.
Make sure you download this ONLY at the Freemake site, copies of this program at other sites have been found to be infected with spyware. Enjoy!

Subject: Flash video files dl and conversion
Darkmoon is right, the video links he posted are far better quality than what we see here. For those interested in downloading You Tube videos should
...
install Freemake Video Converter available at:
http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/
It is also a downloader that only requires the URL to grab the video. Freemake is also a video editor so you can also join the files together. It's free and none of the surprises we typically expect from "free software".

Subject: Available on...(dare I?)...YouTube
I went looking, and found a much sharper print (which is unfortunately broken into three parts) on YouTube:
... rel="ugc nofollow">part 1
part 2
part 3
Unfortunately, the only way to get a copy of your own from that source is to use a download utility that can capture streaming media to a file, and a media player that supports Flash videos (FLV). I did not find any other copy of the film here on IA. The UCLA Film & Television Archive apparently has it, but I do not know if the public can access the collection.
[Update following Digital Axis' review:] I've been looking over some freeware media transcoder packages. Some of them have the capability to extract the video and audio streams from one container format and losslessly place them into another container. YouTube is currently encoding their content with H.264 AVC and AAC, which is then placed into the Flash video container (FLV). If Freemake can transcode losslessly, these FLV files are perfect candidates for conversion to MP4. One advantage to MP4 is that it supports tags; FLV apparently does not. When I tag my MP4 files, I usually put the source URL in the comments field.

Subject: Potentially interesting, but of poor visual quality
I had hoped the other reviewers had exaggerated how poor the quality was...unfortunately, not so. This presumed kinescope copy is so washed out that it
...
is difficult to enjoy. I can discern the familiar faces without too much trouble, but it isn't much fun to look at them through cinematic vaseline. A shame. Can anything be done with some of the amazing film sharpening technologies of today? Or is this particular item of insufficient interest to warrant the expense? If decently sharpened, it would be quite enjoyable! (I gave it three stars for its potential, at least, but I don't disagree with the two stars already given by other reviewers.)

Subject: Very poor visual
This is a fantastic compilation of early Hollywood, HOWEVER, sad to say the quality of this film is disgraceful. Poor visual quality to say the least.
...
I could not even decipher the people, some of the scenes were so light and distorted. PLEASE would someone find at least an acceptable copy of this film to download. I gave up after the first five minutes.

Subject: Sentimental view of Hollywood stars of the past
Ken Murray, made this movie back in 1963. It is interesting to watch how the Hollywood stars from the 1930's to the early 1960's relaxed and had fun.
Unfortunately, ... this copy of the film is not clear.
